100 most Famous Atlhetes....

[Millan]

Pujols at #95

 

[We Ready]

Andy Dalton on the list

 

[No1]

Ronda Rousey above Floyd

 

[Millan]

The majority do, hence why most of their leagues are "World Series" or "World Championship" but only one nation in it

2.

 

[No Homo]

Looked at list of countries and no china..that wouldve put Kobe alot higher

 

[SheriffOG]

2.

Ah my mistake 1% of the world taking part is enough to make it a world championship

 

[mbewane]

Only people who follow basketball know Durant, no way he's in the top 10...only NBA player more famous than Kobe could be Lebron, and I'm not even sure of that. Maybe Durant got that Lil B stimulus package

And no way is Lebron higher than Messi

Curry should be a lil higher but I'm not that surprised he's low, in global sports he's still somewhat of a novelty and doesn't have that Kobe-Lebron coverage. Might have something to do with being UA instead of Nike. And he hasn't done much noise in international competitions yet

The hell are Deron Williams, Rudy Gay or Amare doing on this list

 

[Xerces]

@ Lebronda being higher then Messi. List is a joke off of that right there

 

[bdkane]

We should have all stop reading at ESPN.

 

[beejus]

Messi has 44 million followers on Instagram. Lebron 21.2 million. I know the older male who doesn't use Instagram probably doesn't know who Messi is, but no way Lebron is more famous.

 

[Antares]

The majority do, hence why most of their leagues are "World Series" or "World Championship" but only one nation in it



I was with you until the wild claims here breh. Hazard isn't that Famous, hes good at the game but beign famous is different.

Tiger Woods DOMINATED a cac only sport for years. come on son he definitely deserves his place, if only stupid people watch the sport how you know him breh?

KD at 6 tho

Dude Basketball is not even close to the worldwide popularity of True Football... I can assure you that more people know Hazzard than Lebron... Tiger Woods dominates a sport that no one in the world watches, how can such a person be so popular?

The list should be dominated by True Football players, Lebron, Kobe would be in the middle of the list, American Football players don't exist worldwide, they shouldn't be in the list...

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Who's the most famous athlete in the world?

Top 6
Ronaldo
Bron
Messi
Neymar
Federer
Durant

At Servant over Da Gawd

Football with no player in top 30

1. There's no way Durant is ahead of Zlatan, Rooney, and a long list of footballers

2. No American football players should be in the top 100

Analytics




ESPN's director of sports analytics, devised a formula that combines salary and endorsements with social media following and Google search popularity to create the ESPN World Fame 100 rankings.

Salaries shouldn't be included

Even endorsements is skewed in American players favor because the US is so big

You're trolling now I'm not gonna bite. Enjoy your evening.

Should have just made it in America. Sorry euro brehs, but no one cares about the rest of the world.

It's not "true football", it's soccer god damn it. I'm negging anyone that uses that term again on sight.

I can't wait till trump nukes the eastern hemisphere so lebron can take his place as number one in the world
